Along with "Faye Stop ..." something.

"Faye stop wasting post-its."
No I can't read that in-panel; I saw the close-up during the ustream.

Yes Faye... "loving" someone just so you aren't "alone" is codependent and not healthy. Good on ya for figuring that out.
Love is something that grows out of friendship.
Shared interests, similar lifestyles, similar ways of thinking and humor, are all things that frequently spark friendship. Both you and the other person become better people for your interactions with each other. You enjoy each others company, you learn from each other and your interactions lead you to seriously consider your opinions, ethics and morals in a more rounded fashion since you now have more than one view point to work from. You may possibly even change those opinions if the other person brings up good means to do so (and if you can be honest with yourself.)
At some point the friendship will start turning into love. Love happens when, after all your interactions, you can finally see the other person as someone who is in all honesty, just as important as yourself. A "second self" almost. You see their needs as important as yours, you care for them the same way you care for yourself. If both of you needed ItemX and there was only 1 ItemX, the idea of taking it for yourself is incomprehensible. You simply don't understand it, because you think of each other in terms of a unit and not two separate entities. The idea of the other person "going without" is as problematic as you going without and needs prompt solving.
That doesn't mean that you won't be frustrated or angry on occasion, since it is completely normal to be frustrated or angry with yourself too, after all. But you will still love them even when you feel like this, the same way you don't hate yourself when you are angry.
Beyond this, you may find in the end, that you take even better care of them than you do for yourself, as a way of thanking them for all they bring into your life.

--- Quote from: SomeTentMakerFromTarshish ---Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own way.
It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

--- Quote from: Shakespeare ---Love is not love
which alters where it alteration finds
or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no, it's an everfixed mark
which looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark
whose worth unknown although it's height be taken.
Yadda yadda, this is the truth because I said so.

Edit: cuzsis, I just reread your explanation and want to applaud you for it. Please accept one internet as a token of my gratitude.

It's such a... comfort to know that I can always come here and find people more messed up than I am.
